Merry Christmas to all.
President Obama “normalizes” relations with Cuba, also known as a one-sided “grovel-in” and gets nothing in return from those Communist beasts. The hideous Castro brothers show no sign of easing their oppression of the Cuban people.
“One must ask: why give away the store to two octogenarians, on the precipice of death, and not wait for a better regime to better negotiate the future of Cuba?”

Attorney Judson Phillips, founder of Tea Party Nation, writing in The Washington Times, says Republicans should replace House Speaker John Boehner with Rep. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee. That would be a great move. We need a Speaker with backbone and she has it. As soon as the election was over, the pathetic Boehner went back to his old habit of trying to cut deals with Democrats. Marsha Blackburn is much sharper than that and would be a great change for real Republicans.
The Republican Party could be the only political party in history in which the leadership loathes the majotrity of party members and voters. What makes the Republican Party go is the widespread realization that the Demoleft is much worse. It’s a bizarre situation in which the Repub leadership tries to coddle the Demoleft while trashing its own conservative voters. Yes, the Beltway in-crowd likes the Demos more than their own voters.
Establishment Republicans do not like being challenged from the right side. Republican “lifers” know they have the huge advantage in donor money over their primary challengers.
The Cook Political Report points out 40 interesting facts about the 2014 election. For example:
Democrats now have the lowest number of U.S. House seats they have held in 86 years, or since 1928.
Democrats are tied for the lowest number of U.S. Senate seats they have held in 86 years, or since 1928.
Democrats now hold fewer state legislative seats than they have held in 86 years, or since 1928.[Full Story »]

Dear editor,
As we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, all Americans should be shouting, “We want America back!” For many, many years many of us Americans have been giving this nation away through the practice of political correctness and separation of church and state, neither of which was ever ascribed to in the Constitution.
With the loss of responsible biological parents, we’re not training God-fearing children created in his image. Due to the fact that we are not training our children, we’re having to rehabilitate men. Something is wrong in American when our government can pass out contraceptives to our children in schools without even needing to obtain a parent’s permission. It is getting increasingly difficult to have the ability to pass out the Gideon Bibles on school grounds.
Excessive violence is running rampant in the schools of America. Throughout this nation, prayer has been outlawed in the classrooms of our schools here in America. And the Pledge of Allegiance has come under attack because it uses the phrase “under God.”[Full Story »]

Left Coast USA nanny state in action: Seattle, Washington do-gooder control freaks are concerned at the look of your garbage can, at least how much food you throw away. Local “politicians have passed an ordinance mandating a fine for residents who put too much food in the garbage,” reports The New American magazine (TheNewAmerican.com).
Amazing, isn’t it that we have come to this point. Of course, residents of such areas seem to think it is we down South who are the ignorant ones.
Liberalism is contagious. Don’t catch it.
Getting good results from government (freebies, preferred treatment, etc.) means being a likely Democrat voter.
Why Demoleft politicians want open borders and why the Republican establishment is stupid to play ball with them:

Don’t forget - vote fraud gave us Obamacare. When Democrats stole the Minnesota Senate seat in 2008 for Al Franken they provided the one vote needed to pass the bill.

“An addition, the robot celebrates diversity by speaking Spanish, so immigrants will find another disincentive to assimilate linguistically (which Americans expect of newbies).”

Dear editor,
Things are really getting bad when our country’s Senate (mostly Democrats) have accused out own CIA of using cruel and brutal tactics to obtain valuable information from Al-Qaida operatives. We would know nothing if not for the CIA.
I admire Dick Cheney for sticking to his guns and saying is was a “cheap-shot piece of political business.”
Torture has been going on since the beginning of wars, centuries ago. You cannot be nice to a prisoner, who probably hates you anyway, shake his hand and ask him to give up information he may know about. He will most likely spit in your face and tell you to go to Hades!
The only true brutal and horrible torture I have heard about or seen is on the news, when the Muslim terrorists hold American and other countries people prisoners and openly cut-off their heads while they are still alive! What do you think?
Our leaders of this good ‘ole U.S.A have no idea where they have been, where they are or where they are going! Only by turning to God for answers will they find the solutions!

Dear editor,
I just want to thank our law enforcement officers for all they do for us. It means a lot to me to know that if something goes “bump in the night” or worse, we have law enforcement officers we can call. If we get robbed, whom do we call? Law enforcement officers. If a child goes missing who gets the call? Law enforcement officers. They are on the job to help protect us with their lives and I for one am thankful they are.
Can you imagine what a place would be like without law enforcement? What if we called and no one answered? What if we had no police? Crime and chaos would run rampant. I hate to see our well-meaning police under attack. They are necessary to a civilized society and are so under appreciated and taken for granted. And, as in all cases, there are some that will make mistakes of judgment; that happens in every profession in every society.
I was a teacher for a number of years and I know that respect for authority is a thing of the past. It is not good in school, but the consequences of non-compliance in school are not as dire, in most instances, as they would be for lack of compliance with a police officer. Our children need to respect and obey police officers, especially when given a directive. Had those individuals in recent deaths been compliant with the request of the officers, they would be alive today. Teach your children to respect and obey the police and they will be a lot safer on the streets. The police are there to help you, if you are not breaking the law.

Dear editor,
Let me say thank you President George W Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, the CIA and all Americans who did whatever necessary to keep our nation free from additional terrorist attack following the awful 9/11 attacks that killed more than 3,000 Americans.
The report issued by the Democratic-led Senate committee, was obviously another ploy to move all the negative attention away from this lawless Obama administration for their many failures.
As witnessed now, for a U.S. elected state representative to suggest that we owe these monsters who call themselves an army (ISIS) or al-Qaeda an apology for using whatever measure is necessary to gain critical information that kept us free from attacks should be considered treason. A DEMOCRAT, no surprise!
Most of the terrorist on whom these tactics were used is still alive, some even released from super max prisons drinking mint tea while their victims are dead. (Who released them? A DEMOCRAT!)[Full Story »]

At $4 billion spent on the midterm elections to win 435 House seats and 36 Senate seats, it comes to an average of $8.5 million per seat. The word billion is underrated and was a shock word a few years back. It’s still huge, as you can see, still 1,000 times 1,000,000 (a thousand times a million). Television and radio stations make big bucks on political ads. Runoffs are additional revenue, of course. Speaking of runoffs, bye Sen. Mary Landrieu.
Rabbi Steven Pruzansky says social parasites vote for a living rather than work for a living (2012 statement), more true each year.
Saira Blair, 18 year old Republican conservative University of West Virginia student has been elected to the W. Va. state legislature. She’s pro-life and low-tax. I’m guessing she’s pro-choice on light bulbs, also. That’s where all should be pro-choice: light bulb freedom. The old Edison cheapo bulb was one of the greatest inventions ever. Dollar Tree still has them at three for a dollar. I use cheap bulbs and seldom have one burn out. She’s the first Saira I’ve heard of.

Weirdo Minnesota sent Al Franken back for another six years after he stole the election in 2008. Notice I did not say he was reelected. You could say he was elected in 2014 for the first time.

Democrats are the Party of the Rich. Hillary Clinton is demanding a $300,000 fee for an upcoming speech at UCLA. Ol’ “dead broke” Hideous Hillary and Bubba Bill are worth around $100 million. Bill also cashes in on the speaking circuit at a usual $250,000 per appearance. How much would you pay to hear these liberal losers speak?

I got a recorded phone call from Pat Boone doing a commercial for David Perdue, on behalf of the 60 Plus Association. I took his advice. Remember those polls showing Michelle Nunn Martin leading in the Senate Race?

Yes, I have. It’s their stock in trade.
Wyoming has only one four-year college. It has had only one House member since statehood. Cynthia Lummis (R) is a good one. Her House district is the entire state of Wyoming.
Oregon voted no by around 2 to 1 on drivers licenses for illegal aliens. Maybe liberal-dominated Oregon has seen the light but I doubt it. Good for Oregon on this one.
Bumper sticker of the day-Keep your doctor and fire your Democrat Senator.
Remember the “Republican War on Women?” Remember abortion Barbie Wendy Davis (D) running for governor of Texas? Polls on October 25 showed her running 12 points behind-among women. Polls were fairly accurate this time on Ms. Davis.
In Georgia in 2008, the white vote (65% of the total) went 76% McCain and 23% Obama. The black vote (30% of the total) went 98% Obama and 2% McCain. Somehow whites are the racists?[Full Story »]

Dear editor,
Please file this opinion letter for more reasons to remain skeptical of “Obama Care.” This week, video surfaced showing professor, economist and “Affordable Care Act “ architect Jonathan Gruber described before an audience at the University of Pennsylvania how deception, “a lack of transparency” and the “stupidity of the American voter” were all critical in getting President Obama’s signature healthcare policy passed into law. Let the audacity of that assertion sink in for a moment. For 62 percent of the Americans, according to “Real Clear Politics” average polls, still view the (ACA) with disfavor. That shouldn’t come as a shock. In fact, the opacity employed in drafting, passing and then marketing the law is one of the reasons why cynicism about “Obama Care” remains so high. Other impolitic statements and videos have started to dribble out in which Gruber claims that the law was written to deceive federal watchdogs and mock conservatives’ concerns over healthcare policy. As I have written before in deriding “Obama Care” and these comments by Gruber as yet another reason to dump this (ACA). This further proves that the democrats and Chief Justice John Roberts of the Supreme Court was complicit and co-conspirators in camouflaging the law’s political un-palatable aspects and sneak them past the unsuspecting public.[Full Story »]

Never before have so many people watched an expressionless woman in a nondescript outfit traipse through New York City. Millions of people viewed a viral video that showed the woman getting all manner of uninvited and unwelcome compliments during hours of walking in the Big Apple.
The video was a brilliant stunt by the anti-street-harassment group Hollaback! and prompted the Great Catcalling Debate of 2014.
The video was taken as an indictment of the boorishness of men, a charge for which millennia of human history had already provided more than ample evidence.
There is no excuse for catcalling. There is no reason to shout at random women -- ever. There is no reason to comment on a stranger’s personal appearance -- ever. There is no reason to go out of your way to make someone else feel uncomfortable on the street -- ever.
These are things that used to be self-evident to the gentleman, who not only wouldn’t holler at a woman, but, once upon a time, opened doors for her and yielded his seat to her. The gentleman was a product of culture. He reflected society’s interest in the imperative once identified by Thomas Sowell: “Each new generation born is in effect an invasion of civilization by little barbarians, who must be civilized before it is too late.” Especially the males.
This is not the language of Hollaback!. It breaks out every “-ism” and phobia in the book to condemn catcalling. It can be, according to the aggressively politically correct feminist group, “sexist, racist, transphobic, homophobic, ableist, sizest and/or classist.” That pretty much covers the bases. It would be much easier to say that it is rude and uncouth. [Full Story »]

Dear editor,
Almost everyone is active in some sort of social media these days; whether it’s Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, SnapChat, Flicker, Pinterest or any of the many other sites.
We use social media as a way to stay in touch with family and friends; share photographs; keep up with news; look for jobs; announce engagements, births, marriages, deaths and other life events; and virtually anything else that is part of our collective lives.
Today’s social media role, other than the instant nature of it, is no different than the roles community newspapers have played for hundreds of years.
In smaller communities, prior to the days of the Internet, the local newspaper was often the only form of communication other than word of mouth.
The local newspaper was the go-to source for political news, sports scores, obituaries, school lunch menus, church news, items for sale at the local markets, and even, as was the case in my hometown, hyper-local community news.
Our community newspaper featured contributing writers from the various communities who would report on such things as who visited whom, who hosted a party and possibly even what a family or group would have for Sunday dinner (dinner was the term used to described the midday meal, particularly on Saturdays and Sundays).
Sunday dinner was usually the biggest meal of the week and family and friends would often drop by after church to socialize. It was often an all-afternoon event with foods left out for hours so that whoever visited needed only to fill their plates, and this was newsworthy.[Full Story »]

Notice how liberals hate the coal, oil and gas industries. These industries could stave off a total economic collapse.

How liberal politicians are marketed - the medialeft never says liberal. They tell gullible low information voters (LIVs) that the candidate is a “conservative” or “centrist” Democrat.
Remember - Sam Nunn endorsed Obama in 2008. As soon as he reached the Senate he morphed into a loyal Democrat go-along, not conservative at all. He now sits on the boards of America’s two biggest outsourcers, General Electric and Coca-Cola.
